d33a962d07 Move /etc/defaults/make.conf to /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf as
discussed on the arch@ mailinglist (after repo-copy).

sys.mk will .error if it finds /etc/defaults/make.conf but include
it anyways (this is the same behaviour as with the make.conf.local
removal).

/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf has BDEFLAGS commented out now,
since it's only an example file.

Adjust all textes that talk about make.conf or defaults/make.conf to
match the new situation.

c424905006 Back out rev 1.21. bde and dcs convinced me that all this is messed up
anyway, and there can't be any solution that will universally work in any
case (make world, cross-compilation, simple `make' without `make world'
after incompatible options have been added to strfile, ...)

93548d79ba Revert to 1.19. ${.OBJDIR}/../strfile must be taken out, since it
breaks the cross-compilation case, but I'm not the one doing it.
$$PATH *will* have a new strfile in /usr/bin built at build-tools
time, unless you defined NOTOOLS.

If you defined NOTOOLS and it breaks for you, don't do that.

If you did not define NOTOOLS but things are not working, the error is
elsewhere. See logs for src/Makefine.inc1, particularly rev 1.36, and
revision 1.14 of this file.

117e008ac0 Reverse the way $PATH is extended, so if the person building that area
has /usr/games in its $PATH, where /usr/games/strfile doesn't grok an
option that the newly built one inside /usr/obj would grok, the build
process would be able to complete.
